Host ,'Why We Fight'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I never saw the first Judge Dredd movie, so I don't know what it's about. (Is that something I shouldn't admit? My pop culture is spotty.)
Tim wants to see Total Recall (another movie whose original I didn't see).
And there's Bourne Legacy, which I'm willing to see just for Jeremy Renner, although I didn't see any of the previous Bourne movies.
(You all are giving me the stink eye right about now. I can feel it.)
There is no reason to have seen the first Judge Dredd movie, and having seen the first Total Recall, I have no idea what people are being so protective of. Why shouldn't someone get to make a good (or just cool) movie with that premise? Tcha.
When does the Bourne Legacy open? That's the only other movie this summer I'm really excited about.
Um, except for Beasts of the Southern Wild, which I'm going to try to see this week.
When does the Bourne Legacy open?
August...something. Maybe 20th? No, 10th.
it was supposed to open on the 3rd and they pushed it back a week to up my anticipation for my Renner fix, i suspect.
a friend and i were just discussing the Total Recall original. i don't think i've seen the whole movie. bits and pieces, sure, but not the whole thing.
i'm also not a huge Bourne movie fan, but that probably stems from my dislike of Matt Damon. i've seen them, but i wasn't excited about them. Legacy can't come soon enough though!
Oh, ita, I'm not being clear--I meant a good-natured kinda trash-talking-for-comic-effect thing, not a real argument. Clearly my original post came off as much more serious than I meant it--and on rereading it, I can see why. I needed more hyperbole.
SCRAPPY I KEEL YOUUUUUUUU!!!!
...well, no. I just wanted to up the stakes. I'm actually quite fond of you.
the ads for Bourne Legacy has sucked any excitement I had for the movie right the fuck out. I was ready to see that opening night with the BIG drink. But I need to read reviews now.
I fear the movie sucketh.
I love you,Teppy...
but must remove your entrails until you perish in agony because you don't have THE EXACT SAME TASTE I DO. I mean, how dare you!
I'm looking forward to ParaNorman and The Apparition in August.
